Stopping the prednisolone on your own could cause a rebound reaction and make your inflammation even worse.
I have worked as a technician in eye care for 6 years, and I teach eye anatomy and medical care classes, that's how I know so much about eyes :)

The dilatIng drop you were given was probably a pretty strong one like homatropine or atropine, these drops will last 24-48 hours or longer so don't be surprised if you are dilated for several days after you take your last drop.

Yes, and yes... I got a red top dilating drop and a pink cap steroid Prednisolone 1%. The redness and pain went away, my pupil is still fixed, when i dont dilate it with the drop it stays the same size... it wont constrict or dilate on its own, and it hurts to focus on things. but the problem is that its been almost a month now and it wont go away, im starting to see flashes of white light sometim

I know you are on a dilating drop (red top) right? Did anyone give you a steroid drop (pink cap or label)? Did anyone give you a diagnosis at all? I am thinking that no one let you know what was going on with your eye or educated you about it. I can't believe they didn't know what was going on. Don't be worried, you won't go blind.
